The outside world was still filled with smoke and the battle was still going on.
The Cave of Ice, on the other hand, was dead silent. Nobody was paying attention to this place. Even those that were passing by would go around.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, two years had passed.
Lu Li and Tian Yazi had been staying in the cave like the living dead. They could not move a finger or even open their eyes.
Fortunately, the divine energy in Lu Li's core was surging. That divine energy would not circulate on its own. But when he was weak, some would leak out to replenish his energy.
That was how Tian Yazi survived. The divine energy in the core of a lord was abundant. It was not a problem for him to stay alive for tens of thousands of years.
During the two years, Lu Li did not cultivate divine energy or consume any elixirs. The only thing he did was to study the Law of Sound.
During the two years, he had made some progress. He had overcome two bottlenecks. But there was one thing that he could not figure out.
Lu Li had a feeling that if he could understand this, he would not be far from mastering the Law of Sound.
The only thing he gained was that his soul was 10 times stronger!
Every time he heard the sound, Lu Li's soul would grow, and the growth would last for seven to eight days.
The sound would come once every 10 days. Therefore, during the two years, Lu Li's soul had been growing for more than half of the time.
It was easy to understand why his soul had become more than ten times stronger.
Lu Li was getting agitated because Blood Fairy had not sent him any messages during the two years.
Anyone who couldn't move their body for two years would feel very irritated and depressed.
Lu Li had a strong will. This predicament was not enough to drive him mad. Part of the reason why he was agitated was that he had not mastered the Law of Sound.
He decided to take the risk and study the Law of Sound through the sound.
For one thing, his soul was much stronger, which gave him more confidence.
For another, Tian Yazi was here. If Tian Yazi was still in there, Lu Li could ask Blood Fairy to attack his soul so that the dragon soul could protect him. Perhaps, he could wake up.
After two years, Lu Li and Tian Yazi had become familiar with each other.
He didn't hold back and transmitted his thoughts to Tian Yazi. Tian Yazi pondered for a moment and transmitted his voice: "I don't recommend you to take the risk, but if you insist, I can only wish you good luck.
I'll think of a way to wake you up, but if you can't, there's nothing I can do. "
"Thank you, big brother!"
Lu Li used to call Tian Yazi senior. But after two years, their relationship had grown so close that Lu Li called him brother.
Lu Li fell asleep after the talk with Tian Yazi. When he woke up after two days, the demonic sound was coming.
He put in all his effort to adjust his state, ready to welcome the arrival of the demonic sound.
"Dong, dong, dong ~"
Lu Li was not interested in this sound, so he didn't pay any attention to it.
Lu Li tried his best to remain calm for the Ghost Sound. He only began to sense it carefully when he heard the fairy-like sound at the end.
The sound was very pleasant to listen to, like a beautiful piece of music. There was also an inexplicable rhythm in the sound, which made people feel very mysterious.
Previously, Lu Li didn't have the courage to try. But this time, he threw caution to the wind and tried to comprehend the mysterious rhythm in the Demonic Sound.
The rhythm was beautiful. Lu Li sensed many things from it. It was blurry and he could not see clearly, but he felt it was mysterious.
Lu Li fell into a state of silence at once. His soul was immersed in the melody. He forgot everything else. The only thing left in his soul was the melody.
"Little Lu, wake up!"
"Little Lu, wake up!"
After a moment, Tian Yazi sensed something was not right. He sent a message at once and used soul skills, which sounded like thunder in Lu Li's mind.
But Lu Li did not move. His soul seemed to have fallen into a trance.
Blood Fairy attacked Lu Li's soul as well. The dragon soul glowed to protect Lu Li's soul.
However …
This time, the dragon soul did not seem to work. The dragon soul glowed. Lu Li's soul was quiet, without any movement. It was as if he had become a living dead person.
"Oh, no. I told him not to do anything stupid, but he didn't listen."
"Alas … I thought with someone here, I can hold on for a while longer.
Little Lu is dead. I don't think I can hold on much longer. "
"Never mind, never mind!
If I can't hold on, then so be it. I will die eventually. It doesn't matter if I die sooner or later. "
Tian Yazi shouted for several days. Seeing that Lu Li did not move, he gave up.
He had seen this many times. Many people who fell into this place with him would fall into a trance and never wake up.
In the end, Lu Li's soul would disappear silently, and he would become a corpse.
Time moved on. Half a month had passed, and Lu Li still did not wake up. The second time the melody came, Lu Li did not respond.
When the melody faded away, Tian Yazi sighed to himself. He paid no more attention to Lu Li.
Blood Fairy was worried. She called out twice and attacked Lu Li's soul many times. Eventually, the dragon soul protected her. She was almost devoured by the dragon soul.
Since she could not wake Lu Li up, there was nothing else she could do. The body of the daughter of the Holy King was in the Wandering Bead. Lu Li could not use any divine energy. Therefore, the Wandering Bead could not be used, and the daughter of the Holy King could not come out.
Even if she could come out, Blood Fairy believed that the daughter of the Holy King would not be able to move her body. The patterns here were too profound.
Half a month later, Blood Fairy decided not to worry about it anymore.
She went back to studying the patterns. She knew there was only one way to save Lu Li, which was to crack the patterns and let Tian Yazi take Lu Li out.
Time moved on. Every half a month, the melody would come again, but Lu Li did not move.
His soul was like a pool of stagnant water. There was no movement, as if … there would never be any movement.
Soon, three years had passed.
Blood Fairy did not make any progress, and Lu Li still did not move. What surprised Tian Yazi was that — three years had passed, and Lu Li's soul had not dissipated.
Theoretically speaking, Lu Li's soul should disappear in a year at most.
Not only did it not disappear, but during the three years, Lu Li's soul had grown stronger. His soul energy was vigorous.
It was understandable that his soul was stronger. After all, the melody could strengthen his soul.
However, Lu Li's soul had not dissipated, which was confusing.
"Ha, ha!"
All of a sudden, a laugh came from Tian Yazi's soul. Tian Yazi trembled in fear. He thought he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
Then, Tian Yazi came back to his senses. "Little Lu, you have come back to life?"
"Ha, ha, ha!"
Lu Li replied with a smile, "Brother Tian Yazi, I am not dead. Why do you say I have come back to life?
I am just in closed-door cultivation. I have some understanding of the melody. The melody cannot hurt me.
After three years, I have finally mastered the law of melody.
It is a pity that we cannot move. Otherwise, I would like to have a drink with you. "
"Alas …"
